Philosophical Speculations

Thanks, Ashvin. First, to really try and rule out any misunderstandings on this topic, let’s be precise and note that the bold is incorrect. The other day, you did not characterize exactly what I outlined above. Rather, you posted this characterization , which is incompatible with the outline above ...

The game metaphor, of course, is an example of the phenomenology of spiritual activity, which facilitates perspective inversion. You seem to be suggesting that our mental pipelines can take a different shape, distinct from this cognitive methodology, yet still change our focal perspective and ...

Since you didn't try to correct me, nor did you dispute my answers to the questions, I will assume that my understanding is correct. Your writing isn't poor, Federica, and you can't perpetually rely on that to try to convince us that we are seeing mirages in your dozens and dozens of posts on this ...

This is again a repetitive opinion and attitude that you at times hide, but always end up throwing out in very consistent fashion. Instead of playing this repetitive persona on and off and on, a simple answer to my question would have been both appreciated and helpful. If you become able to provide ...

Since you first 'ask' me a question only to answer it yourself in the same paragraph, how should one read your overall motives and intents with this post? Similarly, since you first say "correct me if I am misunderstanding you" but then signify that you anyway don't think this is happening, how ...

Ashvin, you are misunderstanding me. Here again you keep on resetting the same generalities. I appreciate the effort, but don't you get tired of repeating the same things on and on and on? I thought I had expressed myself clearly, but perhaps not so much, so I'll see if I eventually come up with ...

Ashvin, thanks for all the reminders. They are useful, but I doubt that these generalities provide answers to the question of how the two planes harmonize in the particular case of the human organization. It seems to me that in these last posts you have methodically steered the direction away from ...

I was being ironic. Of course I don't consider that imaginative observation unobjective. And I know that the observation can only be arrived at in higher cognition, and that the physical plane responds to different laws. Indeed, we have discussed that through a long series of posts. But I do think ...

Rather, the events were intended to invite individual souls to develop their inner faculties and more closely unite their inner flow with the supersensible realities. Only then can they begin to look at the historical facts with an Imaginative eye, with higher-order Imaginative logic trained on a ...
